4 About MX/QX Dashboard Software The MX/QX is the non-intrusive intelligent actuator of choice for users demanding safety, quality, ease of configuration and technology leadership. Flowserve Limitorque s commitment to technology leadership is demonstrated in an available Bluetooth option that permits a user to download or upload configuration routines via a standard low-power wireless communication path to an actuator. The MX/QX actuator can communicate via Bluetooth with a Bluetooth-equipped PC, PDA, or cell phone compatible with the Microsoft Windows Mobile platform and the MX/QX Dashboard actuator diagnostics GUI (graphical user interface) software. This document outlines the flexibility of the Dashboard software. The MX/QX Bluetooth option contains a Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS), which enables a reliable communication link, even in a noisy environment. The Bluetooth option also contains 128-bit data encryption to protect the privacy of the link. Bluetooth communication is accessible up to 10 meters (~30 ft.) from the actuator in all directions, and the ability to enable the Bluetooth communication link is password protected. When the Bluetooth link is enabled, a visible blue LED in the controls LCD window signifies that an active Bluetooth link to the actuator is established. The Dashboard actuator software program permits a user to easily access either the configuration routines or the diagnostics capability of the MX/QX actuator using a Bluetooth-equipped PC or PDA with the Windows Mobile 5 platform. Dashboard is driven by GUI and parallels the menu selections of the MX/ QX (see Installation and Operations manuals LMENIM2306 and LMENIM3306). It can be used to change or view configurations up to 10 meters from the actuator when a Bluetooth link is established. A secure Bluetooth link must be established before configurations can be altered, ensuring security and safety. Once the link is established, Dashboard can be used to change or view the default configuration in either active online mode or background mode. MX/QX actuators that require identical configurations. This feature speeds the setup of the remaining actuators. Offline mode allows a user to program a unit configuration, save the configuration to a PC or PDA, and upload into an MX/QX once the Bluetooth link is established. This feature enables the user to assign a unique configuration for any number of actuators in a non-volatile environment, save it to the computer device, and schedule the upload to the actuators when planned maintenance is performed. Diagnostics can also be downloaded from the actuator into a PC or PDA via Dashboard and saved for further evaluation. Dashboard can be used to analyze this data or it to Flowserve Limitorque for evaluation. These features are available up to 10 meters from the MX/QX actuator equipped with the Bluetooth (BT) option. Dashboard can also be used with the IrDA port supplied with each MX/QX unit. IrDA (IR) communication is limited to < 1m. It also requires a link to be established, but the effective communication distance is typically less than one meter to avoid cross-communication with neighboring devices. When the MX/QX software is revised, Dashboard can be used to implement newly released software and upload it to the MX/QX. It is recommended that the IrDA link be used to upload new software into the MX/QX actuator. NOTE: This version supports only the ENGLISH language option. Online mode allows a user to make unit configuration changes in real time by simply answering Yes or No to the menu prompts. Exiting the program saves the changes to the MX/QX. These changes can be subsequently downloaded from a Bluetooth-equipped PC or PDA and uploaded to other 4

5 Installing and Activating Dashboard Dashboard is supported on the following computer systems: PDA - Microsoft Mobile 5 or 6 operating system only with Bluetooth and Infrared capability. Laptop* - Microsoft XP operating system with Bluetooth and Infrared capability. Microsoft Windows VISTA not supported. PC (non-pda) Installation 1. Insert the CD in your PC CD drive. 2. Open file explored and select the setup.exe from the CD drive directory. Desktop* - Microsoft XP operating system with Bluetooth and infrared capability. Microsoft Windows VISTA not supported. *Internal or external Bluetooth or infrared devices supported on most PCs. Refer to manufacturer s instructions for installation. Dashboard is available free of charge when the MX/QX with the Bluetooth option is purchased, and it can be downloaded from or on CD. NOTE: A nominal fee is charged for Dashboard if used on the infrared equipped only MX/QX actuators. PDA Installation 1. Using Microsoft Active Sync, copy the dashboard.cab file to the PDA directory of your choice. 2. On the PDA, open the folder where the.cab file resides and select it. 3. Follow the installation instructions (Windows Mobile generated). NOTE: Dashboard.cab files for the PDA are provided as Widcomm or Wincomm versions. If the program generates an error after installation, the incorrect version was installed. 3. Click OK and follow the installation instructions. Dashboard (PDA or PC) is encrypted and requires a key to unlock the encryption. When the Dashboard software is first activated on your device, a keycode will appear. For example: Dashboard Keycode = D6995DD8 This keycode is then used to generate a random key to unlock the software. For example: Dashboard Key = DD893705D Each key code is unique for every PC and PDA; therefore, the end user must obtain a key code for every installed platform. Once the key is validated, the end user must accept the terms of the agreement prior to first use. The key to unlock the code is available from the factory by calling and asking to speak with a service representative. 5

6 MX/QX Configuration To configure the MX/QX port setting, refer to the LMEIM2306/3306 for detailed instructions. To use the MX/QX Downloader option on the dashboard, the MX/QX must be configured for IRDA in the port setup. The ModSim option on the Dashboard is supported either via IR or BT. Setup example for the IR setting in the port menu: Once the port is configured, Dashboard may be used to communicate with the MX/QX via the user selected Local port. Note: When using the IR option, line of sight is required with the device. For best results hold the IR device approximately 12 cm or less, from the actuator. BT option supports a maximum distance of 10 meters from the device. Configuring the MX/QX BT option: In the ports menu, select the BT port. Each BT-equipped MX/QX has a unique identifier. Note for future reference. Configure the BT password. Default is default , a maximum of 16 alphanumeric characters. The user has the option to disable the password. NOTE: Limitorque strongly recommends the use of a non-default password on the MX/QX for security reasons. The MX/QX is now ready for use with the Limitorque Dashboard application. 6

7 Creating the Dashboard BT Link This document is designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the Bluetooth link for communication with the MX/QX. IR communication is identical except for the initial selection of the IR/COM link. From this point forward, the BT link shall be used as a reference. The Dashboard application will scan for all BT devices in range. NOTE: The application will identify all BT devices in range including and not limited to cell phones and PCs. The link is established per the following procedure: Verify the MX/QX is configured for the BT port option. Record the MX/QX password. Using the Dashboard application, perform the following: - Select the Bluetooth button. Note: The FLXMX/QX refers to the MX/QX actuator. If the desired actuator does not appear in the scan window, move closer to the actuator and press the Rescan button. If the actuator still does not appear in the scan window, verify the MX/QX actuator in question. Select the desired actuator with the mouse cursor (PC application) or stylus (PDA application) and wait for the ACCEPT button to activate. NOTE: If the MX/QX is configured for password protection, enter the password in the Dashboard input field when prompted. Proceed to page 9. 7

Example diagnostic selections are provided as a reference below: 17

18 FDA is available on all MX/QX actuators supporting the BT option. The BT option is not necessary to obtain the FDA data. The data collection function is available via IR. Refer to the MX/QX documentation for detailed specifications. Once the FDA data capture is complete, the display will be as follows: To proceed to the FDA Manager, select VIEW from the DIAGNOSTIC Tab in the WELCOME screen. Follow the prompts. Once the file is downloaded, the FDA Manager is visible and available for data collection. To initiate the initial read, proceed to the FDA tab in the FDA Manager. Note: In the display window, Run unit to collect needed data operated the actuator in LOCAL or REMOTE mode in between the limits. In order to collect the valid data, the MX/QX actuator must be stroked from the OPEN to CLOSE when prompted. [Limitorque recommends obtaining the initial, first installed signature of the actuator.] At this point, the FDA data is available for viewing. Limitorque recommends the captured data be saved for future reference for comparison analysis. NOTE: SPEED DATA in the Speed tab is available by performing the same procedure as the FDA. 18

19 Proceed to selecting GET FDA and the following screen should appear: Once the read completes, proceed with viewing the trace data. Note: The file is saved in a Limitorque proprietary format. Dashboard is the only utility available to view the data at this time. The FDA and SPEED analysis is available for data recording. 19

20 Viewing Trace Data Selecting View Trace Data will result in the following display presuming valid collection of data. The FDA Trace supports data comparison to an existing saved file. FDA Trace FDA and SPEED Analysis Explanation The values for the X-axis are in RPM. The values for the Y-axis are the relative magnitude of the power that the various rotating components of the actuator are developing mechanically over the speed ranges. If the magnitude at any given RPM changes from the stored baseline FDA, then compare the x-axis RPM for the suspect power magnitude against the expected working RPM for the components in the actuator. Any component that is expected to operate at the suspect RPM could be at risk of excessive wear, and the actuator should be included in a targeted preventive maintenance program. The suspect parts could be ordered in advance of the preventive maintenance to ensure that the downtime will be minimized. Note: At the current time, the power magnitudes are relative values. Operation Log lists parameters associated with the MX/QX operation since the last reset. This function is a real-time log. Speed Trace 20
